Event description

Description

Join us for the first ever Trees for All: Chesapeake Regional Environmental Justice Workshop. This two-day event will bring together diverse stakeholders working to retain and increase healthy tree canopy in their communities. In-depth panel discussions with national and regional speakers and interactive sessions will outline how to address challenges to sustained community engagement and barriers to establishing healthy community canopy. If you are invested in community trees in the Chesapeake Bay region - whether you work in government, a nonprofit, the private sector or contribute as a community volunteer - this workshop is designed to help you address environmental injustice as it relates to community trees. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Who Should Come: Urban forestry professionals, Municipal arborists/tree managers, Nonprofit community greening professionals and advocates, Planners, Academics, Funders, and any other individuals with an interest in improving access to quality tree canopy in systemically disenfranchised communities.

Tabling: Organizations with a focus on environmental justice, urban greening, or urban and community forestry who are interested in tabling at this event please contact Lillie Leaf.

This workshop is supported through a grant from the USDA Forest Service, and is hosted in partnership with Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, DC Urban Forestry Administration, Prince George's County, and Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
